Rocker Unfortunately manufacturers quite lots of figures which are 'correct' but not practical. It may pump out 600w at a peak, but unfortunately in the real world you need RMS which is what it will pop out continuously. In a small burst peak, it may reach 600w, but this may be for a second or so, when actually it's continuous power put out is probably 2-300w, hence that what it sounds like. This reported 'undepowering' is universal across many people's use. It's a shame their LH series would blow your nuts off, but strained your back humping it around

Andertons have a stupid sale on these at the moment

I had a Hartke LH1000 and Hydrive 410s Loved the amp, only moved on as it was heavy! As were the speakers but they were not too bad. Thin the TX600 is sadly underpowered, but if you don't mind the weight the older amps are really good value especially on second hand market

Hartke VXL - cheap as chips, great sound to dial in Two Notes LeBass - more expensive, but well worth it

Hartke HD25

https://www.fusion-bags.com/collections/sale fusion bags sale page - loads of great stuff and really sturdy bags. I use one of the DJ bags for my Darkglass amp and leads, speaking cables etc. you get the picture. It can fit loads of wha you need. I do use velcro cable ties to keep birds of a feather together

Hopefully they would have one in ye olde shoppe to have a go, but if you are near me ever, door is open

If I filled in one for a 12 string (4 fundamentals with octave strings) would it be a complete waste of time? I would like that very much......

[quote name='radiophonic' timestamp='1501832443' post='3347602'] I demoed the EHX, BOSS and MXR back to back and it wasn't even close. The EHX I found to be quite dark sounding, the BOSS was 'OK' but a bit thin and the MXR sounded awesome. I didn't get the chance to try the stereo options. I never use the flanger and the price tag was way higher but the quality gap was massive. No regrets. I've also found the simple crossover button to be tuned exactly right. It gets the effect right out of the way of the fundamentals - in fact I've discovered that once your strings are a bit worn in, you can hammer away on the E string and then go for a high fill and the chorus just emerges as you play the fill. I think the Boss is digital too - so not really old skool. The MXR is definitely analogue. [/quote] There you go Sid, remember the clip I sent you was one setting. Jump down the Rabbit hole and take a chance.....

Osiris - just get the MXR Bass chorus deluxe like i told you, there will be no disappointment, and i even comes with flange.......

that will be a tribute, good solid bass, baseball bat neck though if you like em thinner. MFD pick ups are very powerful, but have a treble edge to them and are not as refined as some others, but put out a huge sound. The bass won't let you down and it is good bang for the buck, but don't expect a bongo sound or you will be disappointed, just allow it to be what it is and you will be fine

Tom It's a great journey, I now play mainly pick, because I injured my knuckle on my first index finger playing rugby (it's fine no need for violins) but it just gets tired playing for a long time. What I am trying to do is learn to do either style without dropping the pick, or incorporate the two. I can just about use my middle finger in a co-ordinated fashion and go 1 finger james Hamer son, but I am trying to train the ring finger as well so I have this option, although I am not slapping I can pick and pop. Not a lot different to the geetar chicken picker players you see out there.

Another one to try is where exactly you play the strings as in closer to the neck or bridge for each modality. Each gives its own sound and bite, but judicious hand placement will achieve something as well

All the above are good choices, it's difficult as some songs just lend themselves to either style. If you can't do it via compression or simple vol turn on your bass then I may have a boost pedal spare if you want. Volume knob is probably your best bet cheapest bet, after all guitarist do it for solo's, so just set up your ampnwith it rolled off for your loudest modality and then crank it. If you get your technique down to show no difference eventually then you have spent no money

I know they are both Leo and have big humbuckers but..... Different windings, pre amps, completely different sounds etc. Closest a G&L would get to would be a HH Ray, and even then it's not close I have to agree that a Bongo is a Bongo

In my simplistic view, the pedal will only draw as much current as it needs, and i suppose you have to go with the quoted figures. If they do not get the draw they require,they will not work as effectively, although they should still work. One thing to NOT get wrong is Voltage, too much and it fries it and its good night pedal. Example - my 2 notes LeBass is 500mA, so i need to combine 2 ports on my power supply to drive it, when it was on one port for a small period, it worked, but no way near as good. Its one of those things about pedals, a lot of people are happy to buy them, but seem to not want to shell out an extra hundred quid on a decent power supply (not being judgemental here!). You may always get away with daisy chain, etc. BUT if you get a good power brick for your needs, you will never need to make do, you will have a happy long term board. Depending on board size, where you mount it etc. I have had a decibel Eleven Hotstone Deluxe - fantastic, and anything from the Cioks family has been good to me, currently a DC5

Nice reply

Cheers Al for putting up with my playing! I am biased but a defo +1 for the Two Notes Le Bass for an addition to a board which may give you what you want if you have an existing amp. It's a big footprint, will take 2 slots on your power brick as it's a 500mA draw, but it's really worth it with what sounds you can get. If you don't like the numbers money wise, new it's about £250, I got mine second hand for £140, then check out the Hartke VXL, at under £100 new or I got mine for £40 second hand it does a pretty good job and has a DI and parallel output so that could be all you need in a gig

It's a great amp No excuse not too

Good man Let us know
